From the Mexican desert comes this handsome blue prickly pear with lemon yellow flowers and long black spines. When stressed by drought or cold, it turns glowing purple.

All prickly pears love hot dry summers, need minimal water and can stands a fail amount of cold. In the Sonoran desert where this one comes from originates, it sails through winter frost, even an occasional snowfall, and is hardy in zones 8-11. Happily, the two factors that bring out the purple color are cold weather and drought.

'Santa Rita' grows slowly to about 4 feet, forming nearly perfect circles. Even young plants are spectacular. In cooler zones, it does fine in a large container, but does need full sun and minimal water. In areas with lots of rainfall, the violet coloration is infrequent and fleeting.

Besides being purple, it blooms vivid yellow flowers and bears magenta fruit. Not your ordinary cactus.

Hardy in growing zones 8-11

Color: Silver
This thing worked for like 7 years before I replaced it out of pity when it started sounding like it was struggling. High quality, simple, looks good, and excellent value. Makes a great gift. 10/10

Good tool.
Color: Silver
I learned the hard way that this doesn't work with synthetic corks (at least mine doesn't), they tend to get stuck. Otherwise it is fairly reliable and mainly: simple to use.

A Game-Changer for Wine Lovers - Oster Cordless Electric Wine Bottle Opener
Color: Silver
The Oster Cordless Electric Wine Bottle Opener with Foil Cutter has completely transformed my wine-opening experience. As someone who enjoys wine regularly, this gadget has become an essential tool in my kitchen. The first thing I noticed was how sleek and modern the design is. The silver finish looks elegant and fits perfectly with my kitchen appliances. The built-in foil cutter is a fantastic addition—it effortlessly removes the foil from the bottle, saving me time and hassle. The electric opener itself is incredibly easy to use. Simply place it on top of the cork, press the button, and watch it smoothly remove the cork in seconds. It’s cordless and rechargeable, which makes it convenient to use anywhere, whether I’m in the kitchen, dining room, or even outdoors. The battery life is impressive, and it charges quickly via the included USB cable. One of the best features is how quiet and efficient it is. Unlike some electric openers that can be loud or struggle with certain corks, this one works flawlessly every time. It’s also compact and easy to store, taking up minimal space in my drawer. Cleaning is a breeze—just wipe it down with a damp cloth, and it’s ready for the next use. I’ve used it on multiple bottles, and it still performs like new. The only minor downside is that it might not work as well on very old or fragile corks, but for everyday use, it’s absolutely perfect. In conclusion, the Oster Cordless Electric Wine Bottle Opener is a must-have for anyone who loves wine. It’s stylish, efficient, and makes opening bottles a joy. I highly recommend it to both casual wine drinkers and enthusiasts alike.

Works like a charm.
Color: Silver
Our last cordless opener lasted a long time. “Another” purchase didn’t know he needed. So when the older one pooped out, I got right on line to get another. Great for our use.
